Embodiment Construction

[0019]The figures and the following description relate to preferred embodiments by way of illustration only. It should be noted that from the following discussion, alternative embodiments of the structures and methods disclosed herein will be readily recognized as viable alternatives that may be employed without departing from the principles of what is claimed.

[0020]FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a system for analyzing magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals, according to an embodiment. The system 100 accesses MEG signals 160, performs some time and frequency analysis on the signals, and displays 170 the result to the user. In this example, the system 100 includes a data interface 110, a configuration module 120, a time and frequency analysis module 130 and a user interface 140. The data interface 110 provides access to the MEG signals 160. For example, it may access a database containing previously captured MEG signals, with the system 100 analyzing the signals post-capture. Alternat...

Abstract

A system assists users in time and frequency analysis of magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals. In one aspect, a system includes an analysis module, a configuration module and a user interface. The analysis module performs a time and frequency analysis of the MEG signal, for example a short time Fourier transform (STFT) or a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) analysis. The analysis is parameterized by a parameter set that affects the time and frequency resolution of the analysis, for example window size and overlap size for STFT or center frequency and decay parameter for CWT. The configuration module automatically determines or assists the user to determine correct values for the parameter set.

Description

BACKGROUND1. Technical Field[0001]This disclosure relates generally to the analysis of encephalography signals.2. Description of Related Art[0002]In magnetoencephalography (MEG), the brain's electrical activity causes a magnetic field and this is captured by magnetic field sensors positioned at different locations around the brain. These signals can be analyzed for various purposes, such as diagnosing medical conditions, measuring brain function, and conducting research. They are especially well-suited for detecting temporal responses. In one common scenario, the subject undergoes different types of stimuli or performs different types of activity and the resulting MEG signals are reviewed for certain responses or characteristics. For example, if a known stimulus is presented to the subject, the MEG signals may be observed for a response of a certain frequency at a certain time delay after the stimulus. The presence or absence of that response may be an indication of a medical condit...
